SIDS, Reed said, is the sudden death of an infant under 1 year of age that remains unexplained af- ter the performance of a complete post-mortem examination, includ- ing autopsy, examination of the scene and review of case history. It is the major cause of death of infants from a week old to 1 year old. Death, Reed said, almost al- ways occurs during sleep.

More male babies than female succumb to SIDS, which has a higher incidence among African- American and native American babies than whites.
